William “Billy” Mitchell (1879-1936), one of the earliest and strongest advocates of American airpower, the B-25 bomber was the type used by Gen. Jimmy Doolittle for the Tokyo Raid on April 18, 1942. Although intended for level bombing from medium altitudes, it was used extensively in the Pacific for bombing Japanese airfields and beach emplacements and for strafing and skip bombing enemy shipping during World War II.  The Mitchell was among North American Aviation’s three great aircraft contributions to the Allied cause during World War II. The other two are AT-6 Texan and the P-51 Mustang. While the Mustang was the most famous of the three, the Mitchell was the most important aircraft in its own class since it gave America one of its first victories during the dark days of early 1942. It was built in large quantity and proved its worth in both the Pacific and European theaters of war. Weaponry: Six .50-cal. machine guns  3,000 lbs. of bombs   This meticulously B-25B Mitchell hand-carved mahogany wood model plane is a fitting tribute to Gen. Jimmy Doolittle and Col. Billy Mitchell. Created by highly experienced craftsmen, this work of art was lavishly hand-painted with great concern for details and accuracy of model planes.
